until the afternoon.

The villagers were still doing post-war work.

In the general's mansion, Wang Chen asked dozens of township soldiers to search for jade.

About ten minutes later, some villagers presented some things one after another.

Shi Ming, who had always regarded Wang Chen as a god, walked out of it with a small box in his hand, and he stepped forward and said respectfully: "President." ”

Wang Chen still remembered his name, "You are the little brother Shi Mingshi of Xiaoshi Village, right?"

"Yes, yes. Shi Ming was flattered and said.

Wang Chen smiled: "Don't be nervous, you found something, say it slowly." ”

Shi Ming hurriedly handed over the small box in his hand, "This is the jewelry box found in a room by the lowly office, in addition to the jadeite you said, there are light beads and crow blue. ”

In addition to jadeite, rubies and sapphires?

That's a good thing, in addition to the abundance of jadeite, Myanmar is also very rich in natural resources such as rubies and sapphires, and there is a point that Myanmar's rubies and sapphires are a little more expensive than other places.

Take sapphire as an example, when it comes to sapphire, people's first reaction is Sri Lanka, but in fact, sapphires of the same color, fineness, shape, and carat, Sri Lanka are much cheaper than those in Myanmar.

Needless to say, rubies.

Last time, Wang Chen got a pigeon's blood ruby of about ten carats, and the estimated value reached tens of millions.

He became interested, stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”

"I just took a look, and it's all small pieces of jewelry, not very valuable. Shi Ming said more.

Wang Chen smiled dumbly, rubies, sapphires and jadeites are generally not too big, but the price is not cheap, if they are really big, then the value is boundless.

Without explaining anything, open the jewelry box.

Seven or eight gold and silver objects appeared inside, and without exception, they were all inlaid with various gemstones.

The first thing that catches your eye is a gold ring.

Wang Chen picked up the ring and said with some disbelief: "Glass Imperial Green Ring Face?"

Shi Ming didn't understand this, "President, what does the glass imperial green mean?"

"Hehe, this is more troublesome to explain, if you are interested, I will teach you slowly when I go back. Wang Chen said casually.

I didn't think that Shi Ming was moved to tears, "Thank you, President." ”

"It's fine. Wang Chen put down the jewelry box, picked up the ring that might be glass imperial green, and looked at it, wanting to confirm whether it was or not.

The quality of the ring surface is very delicate, the crystalline particles are dense, the naked eye can see the fluorescence, the texture is delicate and pure, the color is pure, bright, rich and uniform, which is very in line with the characteristics of the glass imperial green.

However, it is not certain.

Generally speaking, the mineral crystals of glass jadeite are very delicate, and the particle size is uniform and consistent, so it will be formed, and the ring surface has high transparency and glass luster, giving people the overall feeling that it is as clear and transparent as glass, and the glass species can be determined.

The rest just needs to tell if it's imperial green.

The color of the ring surface is rich and rare, noble and elegant, as if the essence of the color, its color is strong and green is pleasant, there is no slightest color in the rich green, the green is positive, the green is spicy, the green is strong but still delicate, and the knot is the imperial green.

Wang Chen grew so big, it was the first time he really saw the glass imperial green jade, he couldn't help but get excited, and couldn't help but put this gold ring on his finger, hey, don't say it, just right, he said with a slight show: "Brother Shi, do I look good wearing this ring?"

"It's ok. Shi Ming is a sincere person, and he also expressed his opinion, "I don't think it's as good as the mutton fat white jade ring." ”

Wang Chen sweated for a moment, you really don't know the goods, a ring made of mutton fat and white jade is not worth a metal, it is worth 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, and the glass imperial green ring in the buddy's hand is worth million!

However, the ancients liked nephrite, Wang Chen didn't explain anything, and said in a loud voice: "I'll see what else there is." ”

Shi Ming pointed to a hairpin inlaid with blood-red gemstones and said, "President, how about you take a look at this pearl of light?"

"Hey, pigeon's blood ruby?" Wang Chen's eyes lit up, just now his eyes were attracted by the glass imperial green ring face, and he didn't notice that there was also a pigeon's blood ruby, he picked up his hairpin and looked at the position of the light.

This ruby is drop-shaped, is set on the hairpin, preliminary judgment, not less than five carats, its color is as rich as pigeon blood, almost no need to judge, you can know that it is indeed a pigeon's blood ruby.

Generally speaking, rubies more or less need to be heat-treated and cut to achieve the ideal state, but the value of burning will be much cheaper than that of non-burning, for example, many people who play collection know that rubies without heat treatment can be collected by more than one carat, and rubies that have undergone heat treatment generally have a collection value of more than three carats.

Obviously, the ruby on the hairpin in front of you is unburned, and it is possible that it is naturally occurring in the shape of a droplet.

Pigeon's blood red, more than five carats, natural drop-shaped, this ruby is priceless, Wang Chen has reason to believe that it is not much cheaper than the ruby he put at Sotheby's auction!

Counting the jade sword and jade bowl just now, plus this ruby, most of the military expenses spent on attacking Ancient Mandalay City have returned.

Wang Chen was very excited and put away the ruby hairpin.

Shi Ming said again: "President, how about you take a look at this crow blue necklace?"

"Where?" Wang Chen swept around, but didn't see it.

Shi Ming reached out and rummaged through the jewelry box, and pulled out a silver necklace from the innermost, with a thumb-sized sapphire hanging on it, "Oh, here." ”

No way.

It's a big sapphire.

In fact, the factors that affect the price of sapphire are very similar to diamonds, they are determined by the size of the price, usually, due to the scarcity of sapphire itself, so sapphires of more than 1 carat are rare, let alone more than 3 carats. If a sapphire of good quality is more than 5 carats in size, it will cost much more than a diamond of the same carat.

It can be said so simply and bluntly, that is, the bigger the rarest, the rarer, the more valuable.

This is the main thing, followed by clarity, color and cut.

In fact, in addition to the red ruby, the other colors of gem-quality corundum in nature, such as blue, light blue, green, yellow, gray, colorless, etc., are called sapphire, or colored sapphire, that is, the color name is added before the sapphire, such as pink sapphire.

Like the sapphire on this necklace, it is the purest blue, not other green, yellow, gray and the like, and the blue is brilliant, and the blue makes people have a thrilling feeling.

Wang Chen took a deep breath, "My God, is this Royal Blue?"

Shi Ming blinked and said, "Royal Blue?"

Generally speaking, there are two varieties of sapphires that will be particularly expensive, one is cornflower sapphire, Sri Lanka's cornflower is relatively cheap, one carat of unburned cornflower, the general quality price is about seven or eight thousand, the general quality of burnt is about five or six thousand, Myanmar will be slightly more expensive than Sri Lanka, the general quality of one carat is about eight or nine thousand, and the general quality of unburned is more than 10,000.

And the sapphire in front of me is a royal sapphire that is more precious than cornflower, the quality of sapphire Sri Lanka is burned, the price of one carat of general quality is about eight or nine thousand, and the price of no burnt is more than 10,000 yuan.

Myanmar is different, very expensive, the same carat royal sapphire, burnt general quality price is more than 10,000, unburned can reach 20,000!

This is still talking about one carat, more than five carats, the value is boundless.

Wang Chen checked the royal blue sapphire on the necklace in his hand, which is estimated to be more than five grams, that is, more than twenty carats, if it is auctioned...... Hey, it's easy to shoot a sky-high price of one or two hundred million.

"Haha, the military budget is back. Wang Chen muttered to himself excitedly.

The second monk Shi Ming next to him was puzzled, what military expenses came back?

The rest are some bean seeds and Confucian seeds that are not very valuable, but there is a yellow jade bracelet that looks very good and should be of high value.

With just a jewelry box in front of him, my buddy will make money by attacking Gumandalay City!

Wang Chen finally understood why the United States wanted to attack Iraq, think about the oil resources over there.

Just put the jewelry box together, and one after another came out of some villagers holding jade products, Wang Chen didn't have time to watch, a large number of people walked in outside the door, headed by Xiao Jianhua, he escorted some of the ancient Mandalay city guards, as well as the local consuls, at a glance, there were about twenty or thirty people, a lot of people, after all, the number of ancient government departments and modern society can not be compared, each field of modern society is clearly divided, ancient times are not, many areas will be under the jurisdiction of one person.

Xiao Jianhua stepped forward and said, "President, I have brought all the people." ”

Wang Chen asked, "What kind of people are they?"

Xiao Jianhua pointed to the short, long-bearded man in his forties, "He is the city lord Deng Danwen." Then he pointed to a sturdy man in his thirties, "This is Miao Getun, the deputy general of the city guard, and there are some other generals and officials, such as the thief's eyebrows, the city's financial official Ranpobo, and the ...... who looks like a horse monkey."

To tell the truth, Wang Chen only remembered the names of the city lord and the deputy general, and after listening to it, he said a little strangely: "What about the main general who guards the city? What about the bastard who ordered Xiao Feng to shoot arrows on the city tower? ”

Xiao Jianhua said with a smile: "The main general you said Ye Yinang has killed himself, and before he died, he also said that if this group of subordinates has the opportunity, he must tell their king that he has done his best, and at the same time still loves his wife deeply." ”

Hearing this, Wang Chen was in awe of Yeinang and said, "Bury General Yeinang." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it later. Xiao Jianhua said.

Chatted a few words.

The soldiers and officials of the ancient city of Gumandalay knelt there without saying a word, anxiously awaiting the verdict of fate, and they all knew that their lives were in the hands of the young man in front of them.

After chatting with Xiao Feng for a few words, Wang Chen beckoned to the translator Li Qing, "Let the city lord Deng Danwen and the deputy general Miao Ge swallow step forward to speak." ”

"Yes. Li Qing turned his head to a group of Burmese soldiers and officials and muttered a few words.

Then Deng Danwen and Miao Ge swallowed back a few more words.

Li Qing said: "President, they said that they are willing to surrender to us sincerely, and I hope you can surround their lives." ”

Greedy for life and afraid of death.

It's normal, it's impossible for everyone to have the courage to die like Yeinang, and since this group of people raised the white flag and surrendered, they naturally have a very strong desire to survive.

Speaking of raising the white flag to surrender, Wang Chen thought of an allusion, with white as a sign of surrender originated in the Qin Dynasty, when the Qin people took black as the "national color" to represent victory, the reason is that the Qin people believed that the five elements belonged to water, and the water was black.

Many cultures in ancient Myanmar have been influenced by China, so they naturally know the allusion of raising the white flag and surrendering, and it just so happened that when they communicated before, they learned that Wang Chen was a member of the Great Song Dynasty, so they only raised the white flag when they surrendered.

Considering that the cities that were attacked were garrisoned and managed, Wang Chen thought for a while and said, "You tell them that I won't kill them." ”

Li Qing acted as an interpreter, and the two exchanged a few words about the current situation in the city.

These officials and generals were relieved to hear that Wang Chen would not kill them.

You must know that in ancient China, there were countless famous generals, their prestige has been passed to Myanmar, without exception, there is a characteristic, these famous generals like to kill people and even slaughter the city, such as Bai Qi, the most bullish god of war in the Warring States Period, after the Battle of Changping, the pit killed 400,000 Zhao army prisoners, miserable, and the battle is basically hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of beheadings, Xiang Yu is even more so, that is the only Chu overlord, its combat bravery, later generations have not been able to surpass him for thousands of years. But he not only likes to slaughter cities and exterminate them, but also kills 200,000 prisoners of the Qin army, which is also extremely cruel!

So when they surrendered, they were afraid that Wang Chen would be like those powerful generals, and they would pull them out without saying a word.

Wang Chen wanted to kill these people to prevent future troubles, but he was overstretched, so he could only make this strategy to keep this group of people and continue to manage, but in terms of personnel appointments, there will definitely be changes and form constraints, otherwise as soon as he leaves, he will rebel again and play with wool.

He was already thinking in his heart about how to show his "imperial heart technique".

Just thinking about it, those officials and soldiers in Bagan had already stammered, and they all rushed to stammer, for fear that something bad would happen when it was too late.

The city lord Deng Danwen is the most clever person, and when he saw that from time to time there were village soldiers moving jade products from the general's mansion, he had an idea and said: "President, there are many good Mo Moliang in my mansion, if you like them, I will give them to you." ”

Wang Chen didn't understand what Mo Moliang meant, and asked rhetorically, "Mo Moliang?"

Deng Danwen pointed to the jade and said, "That's what kind of thing." ”

It turned out to be jade, Wang Chen was overjoyed, and immediately said, "You have a lot of Mo Moliang?"

"Yes, better than all here. Dendanwen said.

Wang Chen said: "Let people show me." ”

As soon as the words fell, the remaining soldiers and officials of Ancient Mandalay City couldn't wait to shout.

"President, I also have Mo Moliang. ”

"I have a lot of them at home, and I give them both hands if you like them. ”

"President, I am the official in charge of mining Mo Moliang, I will show you the way, how much Mo Mo Liang wants. ”

Wang Chen: "......"

Why do you always have the feeling of "I will show you the way for the imperial army"? Khan, these Bagan officials and soldiers are too spineless, right?

Wait, what did that official say just now?

Is there a jadeite mine around here?

If there is really a jade mine that is still being mined, then not to mention the military expenses for attacking the ancient city of Mandalay, even the $200 million in arms spent before have come back!
